There were a small number of places where TiddlyTools plugins were using: story.idPrefix+tiddler.title to construct a tiddler element ID, which was then being passed to document.getElementById(...) to retrieve the rendered tiddler element from the story. Fortunately, as of 11/30/2010, *all* of these occurences were replaced with story.getTiddler(tiddler.title); As a result, all TiddlyTools plugins now rely upon the core's implementation of story.getTiddlerID(tiddler.title); and will automatically handle any changes in the generation of tiddler element IDs (i.e., mapping spaces to "_" to ensure valid IDs). Thus, as far as TiddlyTools plugins are concerned, there are no *known* barriers to fixing ticket 472. However, the same may not be true for other, non-TiddlyTools plugins that are still constructing their own tiddler element IDs. I suggest that, before releasing any fix for #472, we should perform a simple text search through as many known, published plugins as possible, to attempt to identify code that needs to be changed. For example, searching for any of these literal strings: idPrefix "tiddler"+ "tiddler" + 'tiddler'+ 'tiddler' + should locate nearly all instances of code that manually constructs tiddler element IDs. Of course, once identified, the work of actually altering that code would fall to the individual plugin authors... but at least we can attempt to notify them in advance and provide them with some guidance, so that they are aware of the impending change and will have time to prepare and publish their own plugin updates. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
